Graphisoft, a leading developer of Building Information Modelling (BIM) software solutions for architecture and multidisciplinary design, has announced the next phase of its Design Intelligence Strategy.
The strategy previews new collaboration and AI-assisted design initiatives currently being developed.
The company’s chief product officer, Márton Kiss, said Graphisoft is unifying key components into a single, cloud-native platform that extends from feasibility studies to detailed BIM and lifecycle collaboration.
“This next step reinforces our mission to deliver an intuitive, data‑driven design experience that helps architects and engineers focus on how buildings should be built, not just how they can be built,” he said.
Research shows more than 92 per cent of construction projects experience significant delays and budget changes, resulting in $US2.1 trillion in annual losses globally.
To help eliminate roadblocks and cost overruns due to broken handovers, misalignment, and miscommunication across AEC projects, Graphisoft has announced a Nemetschek Group-level initiative being developed as the open collaboration fabric of the Nemetschek design ecosystem.
It is intended to synchronize models, documents, issues, and decisions across Graphisoft solutions and the broader Nemetschek portfolio, while supporting open standards such as IFC, BCF, PDF, DWG, and RVT.
This solution will offer a browser-based, multidisciplinary collaboration environment that brings architects, engineers, builders, owners, and operators into a common source of truth, with early access planned for 2026.
Graphisoft VP of product management, Sylwester Pawluk, said the goal was to offer the AEC industry a truly open alternative — one that is trustworthy and accessible for everyone.
“This is the open collaboration layer our entire industry has been missing,” he said.
Also in development is a next-generation, web-based design intelligence platform that uses AI and integrated simulations to help teams make better decisions earlier in the building lifecycle.
Users will be able to explore hundreds of massing, layout, and performance scenarios in seconds, while keeping stakeholders aligned in a shared, browser-based workspace—without requiring BIM expertise. Developed by Graphisoft and scaled across the Nemetschek Group, this AI-assisted design solution plans to launch early access in October.
In 2026, Graphisoft plans further expansion of its AI offerings, along with a coordinated update to its product ecosystem in early October.
